How to Remove Shoe Marks From Tile Floors

Although tile floors give a home an elegant appearance, they are just as susceptible to scuff marks as any other type of flooring. Black rubber-soled shoes are the most common cause of scuff marks found on tile flooring. Fortunately, this type of stain isn't difficult to remove. It must be done in a way, however, that does not scratch the surface of the tile.

Eraser
Melamine foam eraser
Water-displacing spray
White rag
1 gallon water
1/2 cup baking soda
1 tbsp. borax
2 tbsp. ammonia
Bucket
Microfiber mop

Instructions

- 1
  Flip your pencil upside down and use the eraser to remove the shoe marks on your tile flooring. This is a good choice if the shoe marks are few and of a small size.
- 2
  Wipe the shoe marks away with a melamine foam eraser if the marks cover a larger area of your tile flooring. You need to wet the melamine foam eraser so that it is damp before running it back and forth over the scuff marks.

  Spray the shoe marks with water-displacing spray if the scuff marks are stubborn. Wait 30 seconds and wipe clean with a white rag.
